G2 Esport’s new Counter-Strike 2<\/a> lineup clinched a 2-0 victory against The MongolZ in their Esports World Cup opener, with close scores of 13-11 on Ancient and 16-13 on Inferno.<\/p>\n

Despite the win, it was a tough battle, requiring a combined 48 frags from Ilya “\u2060m0NESY\u2060” Osipov and Nikola “\u2060NiKo\u2060” Kova\u010d.<\/p>\n

G2 had to overcome a 6-10 deficit on the CT side of Inferno, ultimately prevailing in overtime.<\/p>\n

This victory propels G2 directly into the playoffs, while The MongolZ move to the single-elimination best-of-one last chance stage of the Esports World Cup<\/a> event.<\/p>\n

G2’s freshness showed on Inferno, with clutches and anti-ecos proving challenging.<\/p>\n

Mario “\u2060malbsMd\u2060” Samayoa stood out, maintaining his sharpshooting skills despite new CT roles.<\/p>\n

His crucial plays, particularly in round 24 of Ancient, were pivotal in securing G2’s victory.<\/p>\n

Despite their star duo’s dominance, G2’s win was unconvincing on both maps, reflecting the team’s need for further cohesion.<\/p>\n

The MongolZ, led by Garidmagnai “\u2060bLitz\u2060” Byambasuren, also had their moments, with clutches from Sodbayar “\u2060Techno\u2060” Munkhbold showcasing their potential.<\/p>\n
